Marquis De Ojeda, left Home today, having been re called by Spain. The complete severance of dlplomatlo relatione between the Vatican and the Spanish government put an end to ! all possibility of amelioration negotiations. MADRID, July JO. (Special Cablegram.) The excitement throughout Spain, following the direction of Premier Canalejas to re call Marquis De Ojeda, the Spanish min ister st the Vatican, thus breaking off all diplomatic relations with the Holy 8ee, took the form of rioting lat tonight, and re ports from the provinces ' state that dis turbances broke out In many districts where soldiers and townspeople were wounded and many arrests made.- This Is looked upon aj the flrat breuk. The gov ernment attempted to discount the dis order and Troops were enroute all day. In official circles there Is a grave ques tion what action, if any, will be taken by the other European powers In the event that Don Jaime, the pretender to the throne, suddenly makes his appearance In Spain and commences the mobilisation of his army. No Interference Expeeted. It Is believed there will be no Interference from foreign powers even If civil war should break out. In case Don Jaime leads well-equlpped expedition against the j troop of Alfonso and Is successful in over throwing the throne. It Is believed the new Carllat government would be recognised if It should assume the obligations of the old government. Spala Is heavily In debt through the ex- 1 pense of the Morroccan war and the Carl iats would have to agree to honor all out standing Spanish bonds and obligations. '. ' The clerical element wilt stand for only t.ne solution of the present situation, 'They want King Alfonso to retira hla entire cabinet and form a new ministry, abrogate the program of clerical reform and with draw the royal - decree permuting' non Catholic organisations to display the' in slants of publio worship. ' ' ' '' ' The downfall of Canalejas is not a' suffi cient punishment to satisfy the radicals In the clerical party.

In spite of the premier's debonulre assurances of success, plotting la rife in the Imperial family. There are membeia of the cabinet who wish to see conditions as they were, and there is a movement afoot now . to , have Canalejas overthrown and a new premier appointed. ' .... - KlDg.IIas Ke Fesr. It was sHald today that powerful influ ence Is being exerted upon Alfonso1 to de pose Canalejas, but while this intirrue Was brewing today the premier calmly allowed the following statement to be given to the press: "We do not fear the threat of civil war. The king and the Spanish democracy sup port us." ; The Roman Catholic press In Madrid published leaders today commenting upon the recall of the Spanlth ambassador from the Vatican. The Catholic press professes to see vic tory In this ove. One paper advocate.! the wholesale chartering of special . boats and trains to carry delegations of Roman Catholic subjects to San Sebastian, where Alfonso Is now occupying his summer cas tie, where a petition would bJ presented to the monarch begging him to depose Can alejas. Canalejas Is boldly taking up Don Jaime's threat of civil war and thethrone of the ancient monarchy is tottering towards an unknown abyss. Students of history claim to foresee a republic for Spain as a result of the present condition. Much depends upon the action to be taken by the Cones. Carlists do not favor any restrictions upon orders and leaders of the republican-socialist alliance do not try to disguise their hostility to the Canalejas program.

Y., tv pten ber 11, 1S26, and came to Nebraska in iv7. He had been educated at Oberlin college and read law In Elyrla. His first law practice In Omaha was in association a . .1 Pnm.letj.n. Two years after coming to Omaha he was elected to the territorial legislature and served there for three terms. He was speaker of the house In 1M, a member of the committee mat arew up the Nebraska state constitution and was a member of the state supreme bench from 18U to ISM.

WENDLING UNDER AllRESTliN FUIf ' ' Followed Eleven Thousand Wiles, Man Accused of Murder of Alma Kellner is Captured. f PURSUIT KEPT UP FOUR MONTHS Captain Carney at Last Runs Down Suspected Man. INSISTS THAT HE IS INNOCENT Alleged Murderer Admits His Identity but Changes Name. DECOY LETTER D0E3 GOOD WORK Prisoner la Poind Hiding: Beneath a Sink In the Waah Room of a Ikes!) Lodarlna; House, SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. Dragged from beneath the sink In the washroom of a Third street lodging house In this city, where he had been hiding for twenty-four hours, Joseph A. Wendllng was arrested to day by Detectives Burke and Ryan of the local police department. Wendllng admitted his identity, but protested his Innocence. A few hours after the arrest. Captain of Detectives J. P. Carney of Louisville ar rived, to learn that his 11,000-mile search I for Wendllng had been crowned with suc cess. . It was the final telegraphed tip from the Kentucky detective which led to the capture. In his relentless pursuit of the supposed murderer, lasting for (our months, Carney many times Inst the trail, but the secret of the whereabout of hlb quarry always lay with Mrs. Cora Muena, a milliner of Hume, Mo. It waa from her home that Carney flashed the Information that led" to the arrest. It seemed the Irony of fate that the only roapectable woman found by , Carney . to have been connected with Wendllng uuir-a his wanderings should have been the un conscious, means of betraying him. Mrs. Muena met Wendllng at the home cf her aunt In Houston, Tex., and before una returned to Hume she was engaged t't the dashing young Frenchman, who dazzled the aunt with tales of his wealth In France, which would como to him with the death of his aged father. Before Mrs. Muena left Houston she grew - to fear Wendllng and 'after her return to Hume she broke the en gagement. ' '- J Trail Loat In Tcxaa. When Carney received the clue that Wendllng was working for. a grocer in Houston the . detective began the long search which led him to every county seat n Tes.A's. At Houston "he found that Wendllng had fled to S&U Antonio, where he ' had obtained a ' position on' a ranch near ' that toWri, but the hunted1 man had fled, leaving some of hla effects behind. Here Carney lost the trail; Returning to Houston the detective sent a decoy letter, ostensibly written by the aunt of Mrs. Muena asking for the address of Henry Jaoquemln, the name assumed by Wendllng when he left Louisville. The re ply. Intercepted by Carney, informed him that his prey was In Los Angeles. The de tective's trip to Lcs Angeles proved fruit less and he returned to San Antonio, where he found that Henry Plcard, a friend of Wendllng, had received a picture postal card from the fugitive. This communica tion, written In French, was postmarked Rio Vista, Cal. Abandoning his .Texas hunting grounds, Carney came Immediately to this city where he procured the assistance of the local de tective bureau. Accompanied by Detective Conlln, he went to Rio Vista, and found the man had fled, leaving behind him, how ever,, his name on .the payroll of a -company which was building jetties along the Sacra mento' river. Then the trail again became so cold that Carney determined to visit Mrs. Muena at her- home In Hume. He reached there Just In time to prevent the destruction of a postal which gave the address of Wendllng In Vallejo, Cal. Letters Are Destroyed. Mrs. Muena had destroyed her correspond ence with Wendllng and was on the point of burning Uie postal when the Louisville police official arrived. When the address was flashed to San Francisco, ' Detective Burke was at once sent to Vallejo. In the possession of Alice Miller, with whom Wendllng had been living, he found the fugitive's photograph and a complete kit of burglar tools.

Nebraska Woman Joins in "Back to Ireland" Move "Back to Ireland" has been a potent watchword In the United States for sev eral months, with the result that a great many former residents of Ireland have returned to the land of their birth for a summer visit. The- movement has some thing moro back of It than a mere effort on the part of steamship agents to drum up business for their lines. It Is deeply rooted In sentiment, for the love of the "old sod" Is still strong In the hearts of all those who claim It for their birthplace. These go back reverently to visit old scenes and old friends, to renew former ties anil to make new ones, and more especially to note the progress that the new Ireland Is making. It has been suggested by the Irish Home Going association, whtoh has Its headquarters In New York, that great good will come to Ireland as the out come of this summer's visitations. It Is thought that the returning Irishmen and women with their new Meas from a land of Ideas will give an Impetus to thought and action In Ireland that will be of Im merse Importance In shaping the course of events there. NeWorka has been represented very lib erally In this movement, many cltizena of the state taking advantage of the summer to revisit Irilund. One of them, really a "granddaughter" of Ireland, Is Miss Cath erine L. Duggan of Dskota county, who left In June for a summer among the scenes where her father and mother spent their childhood.

That the actunl Journey was no Joke will be realised when It Is Mated that the ground area covered by the build ings totals 103 acres. Yet It Is doubtful If even the most delicate woman or child In the throng ever gavo a thought to the distance covered. On every Mde and at every turn was something of patent Instruction, often of intensest Interest. . The educational features held all thoughts. , In these Bhops men handle locomotives as children handle playthings; and masterly products of one branch of the plant were but yesterday regarded as playthings by men who today consider litem as marking a new era In railroad building, namely, the McKeen motor cars. Tremendous looking steel airships were whizzing and sailing overhead In the loco motive repair shop, with Jaunty looking j young aviators perched in little boxes and i directing the powerful carriers lit their charge more handily than a boy runs a tri cycle on the street. Ever and anon these airships, technically called moving cranes, would shoot from one point tu another with a surprising velocity, pick up a losd fit to break the back of a world-sustaining Atlas and whirl It away to some other point for further manipulation by workmen. Machinery Does the , Work. ; Underneath the cranes were' machines punching holes In heavy steel as readily as a, tooth pick goes through , butter, while others were boring holes and shaving sur faces to the exactness of a thousandth part of an Inch. The mighty maw of one ma chine would crunch through an Inch-thick piece of steel without even a perceptible jerk, while alongside would be a machine in which a great crank s-.iatt was being manipulated as a squirrel plays with a nut. Further up .this line dassltng flrea were heating big sheets of steel to a blazing white condition. And workmen were con tinually pulling these pieces out, laying trera on a solid anvil as big as a wagon, fixed In the ground. Then these Industrial fire-eaters each seised a wooden maul like unto the head of a beer barrel and sailed In .to pound the slszllng sheet into order They went around It, Indeed, "like a cooper around a barrel," . and shortly the wooden , mauls ' went thrown aside for heavy steel , hammers with long handles. By' swift, swinging strokes, with never a miss, the perspiring imps of Industry very quickly brought the clumsy looking, shining ar ticles Into the shape called for by the placo , It Is to fill.

Here was opportunity for a liberal education lit the best methods of handling, heating, shaping and forwarding Inanimate articles ' soon to thrill with the life that men put Into a mass of scraps they have with keen intelligence shaped to respond to power to run, to stop, to start and run again, as the master hand may direct. Away at the north end of the enclosure locally known as "the U. P. shops" stand Uie buildings of the McKeen Motor Car company. In these buildings the visitors 3a w all the material In the rough, and then after the first touch of the mechanlo has started It toward service; on and on from man to machine and from machine to stlil other machine, until the floor of the ' car to be is laid. A few steps away the steel sides are being put on; then comes a car with the roof on. and one with the i front and rear in place; then one entirely ' enclosed and the woodworkers busy inside; ana still a nttie rurther along a finished car, except for. the engine, while Just out side the door Is a finished car ready fur passengers to step Into. The engine has not been tried until today, but when a man lays nanas on mo levers, and pulls them, off she goes to the other end of the yard us smoothly as could be dilred. In the McKeen shops the visitors not onlv saw the cutting and shaping of steel, the making and assembling of engine parts, the acme 01 tne macninisfs an tn special con struction, out also the combining of n.. per-like sheets of wood into shaoea n,n,i graceful and of tremendous resisting power. nur pci sun naving gone through these shops, afterward seeing a McKeen car will be fairly well equipped to tell Just how it is ouiu into beauty and power. 8in the actual process from the rough to th perrect product, surely surpasses any learn ing from books. Many Were Guest. Having decided to entertain every pera'.t in Omaha anxious to see and learn, th officials of the two companies went abwu the business In proper form. Alert, well Informed guides met all visitors at the main gate and escorted them n group, through the office building, the store house, oil house, power house, machine shop, blacksmith shop, boiler shop, pattern shop, car shop, paint and wheel shop and iti a motor car shops. 'Conversation of a polite, well modulated, social character was not very popular In most of the shops and could only be con ducted with difficulty; but there were sights to see and lessons to be learned at every step. Much eageruee was evime; to learn all the guides had to tell, arv.l it i safe to say the people of Omaha, to a large number, are much better Informed on and hs.e a higher conception of the growth and Importance of the
